    2. Type the following command, then press Enter:
         vaeinit

      The system displays the Login menu:

         2) Do Not Start Blueworx Voice Response
         Enter choice (or <ENTER> for option list)
    3. Skip to step 4.
  3. If you are not using the Common Desktop Environment, and the account is set up appropriately, the system displays the Login menu:
                 Blueworx Voice Response User Login
          1) Start Blueworx Voice Response Processes
          2) Do Not Start Blueworx Voice Response

  4. At the Login menu, type 1, then press Enter.

    If you type 2, you can get back to this point by typing the vaeinit command.
